French Immersion Information Sessions

Families across the Hamilton are being invited to learn more about French Immersion as an option for their child.

Because every student is unique in their learning, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board staff strive to provide programs that help all students reach their full potential. French Immersion is one such program.

French Immersion is a proven way of acquiring excellent French language skills. At HWDSB, French Immersion is specifically designed for parents who do not speak French, but want their children to speak both official languages. The program is open to all students in Hamilton-Wentworth starting in Grade 1.
